Rocko’s Modern Way of Easily Applying for Cool Animation Jobs.

Doug is an imaginative, thoughtful kid just trying to find his way in his hometown of Bluffington. Between enduring bad haircuts, avoiding bully Roger Klotz and desperately hoping to impress his crush, Patty Mayonnaise, Doug’s got plenty to be anxious about. No matter how it turns out, Doug can turn to his best friend Skeeter, dog Porkchop, and of course, his fantasy life and journal.

Doug

When anything is erased from a chalkboard, it’s not really gone – it just enters a realm called the Chalkzone. And fifth grader Rudy Tabootie found a way to go there! With a piece of “White Lightning” chalk, he can enter the Chalkzone any time he likes. In the Chalkzone, Rudy befriends Snap, a bold superhero Rudy drew years ago. But Rudy soon discovers not every doodle is friendly…
